Psalm 9 - NIV
Psalm 9:1818 But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
Psalm 10 - NIV
Psalm 10:17
17 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
~~~
Afflicted: people who are grievously affected especially by diseases; people who are suffering
Needy: Being in need; impoverished; Wanting or needing affection, attention, or reassurance
Some people are suffering from diseases, while others are feeling lonely. There are people who are in need, who are jobless and even penniless. Others are suffering emotionally, mentally (like being bullied or bottling feelings up). Some are suffering from these mentioned for a long period of time or their entire life, while others have it every now and then (like they met with a situation and are suffering inside).
But whatever it is, God hears them all. No matter how lonely anyone is, how needy, and they feel that nobody knows them nor cares about them, that they do not exist... it is a LIE!!! For it is said in Psalm 9:18 that the needy will not always be forgotten. Why??? For the Lord did not forget them at all. Joshua 1:5 5 I will never leave you nor forsake you.
He was always and is always there for you, in your times of need. He has never left your side even though you feel as if you are the only person on earth and no one understand you. Yet he is there, wanting to comfort you in your times of need if you would only let him. He wants to give you all the riches in the world. Even for those cases where people live in proverty all their life, you ask "Then hasn't God forgotten them?" I say "NO!" God was looking out for them. And when they pass away and go to heaven, I'm sure God will reward them handsomely and shower them with His love personally.
What about the Afflicted? When we are sick, and caught a virus, we probably are also considered Afflicted. The bible says that the hope of the Afflicted will never perish, for if you cling onto Him, he will give you hope. For as King David says in Psalm 10, that the Lord hears the desires of the Afflicted. So cry out to Him in your prayers and he will listen to you and encourage you for He is our Healer, our Jehovah-Repheka.
So whenever you need help, need healing and you feel that you are suffering... seek the Lord and He will surely hear.
Light my path O Lord

[[--- WELCOME! ---]]
A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
